Yahoo! Sucks Up Youthful Innovation
Just weeks after Facebook signed a hastily-prepared Microsoft ad deal and went super-stalker on its users by trying to enter the big scene with new high-scale features, it's going as far as to consider selling to Yahoo!. Apparently a sale has been on the cards for a while although it's the first I'd heard of it.
It's not entirely surprising news: all the little kids sell out when they get big. But as a Facebook user I'm concerned that our tidy little Facebook home will soon become an ad-infested portal full of 'entertainment', 'health' and 'gossip' vermin with the Yahoo! logo plastered all over it.
Sad, sad.
